Tea Party No Longer Wants To Follow Rule of Law

So much for the US being a country where the rule of law prevails and protects us. Jenny Beth Martin, chair of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, is calling on Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus to intervene in the Mississippi Senate race.

Here’s an excerpt from her statement:

… Chris McDaniel won more votes from actual Republicans than did Cochran. Thus, only a fool would dispute that McDaniel is the clear choice of Republicans in MS. He is, by all rights, the Republican nominee, regardless of what state law states. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus should address this. As Chairman of the national party, he has overall responsibility for the selection of GOP nominees across the country.”

Regardless of what the law states???

So there goes the rule of law, I suppose.

Mississippians arguing against State's rights?

I've seen it all now.

How is asking Reince Preibus to "intervene" - whatever that means - ignoring the rule of law as you assert?

Also to Subdumbo - how the same...how is it going against "State's rights" ???

Without a link to the original story it is impossible to know what the TP means when it says "intervene".................ma ybe they are calling on Cochran to withdraw since he didn't get the majority of Republican votes. Such a call wouldn't be against the rule of law or state's rights !

Are you both some Obamzied that you can't distinguish fact from fiction?

---

Hw got the majority of the votes cast, Whirlyturd. PERIOD. That's ALL that counts in an election. PERIOD.

FACT JACK.

That's NOT the story I'm reading.


McDaniel Unveils Another Strategy Against Thad Cochran


12:00 AM 06/30/2014

Volunteers working for tea party challenger Chris McDaniel in Mississippi say they have already found 20 percent of the invalid double-votes they need to cancel Sen. Thad Cochran’s business-funded runoff victory.

“We’re finished with Hinds County, and we’re up to 1,500” invalid votes, said Noel Fritsch, Daniel’s press aide.

That’s critical because McDaniel can force another runoff if he can find more invalid votes than Cochran’s roughly 7,000-vote margin-of-victory on June 24. Votes are invalidated if voters cast ballots in both the Democrats’ June 3 primary and the GOP’s run-off on June 24.

However, McDaniel can also force another election even if he can’t find 7,000 invalid ballots, said Fritsch.

“We don’t have to prove that we have 7,000 [invalid] votes…. all there needs to be is enough doubt about the election, and we’re confident about that,” he said.

That “cancel by doubt” strategy gives the McDaniel campaign an incentive to collect evidence about possible vote-buying and other potentially unethical behavior by Cochran’s campaign.

So far, there are many reports about shady outreach to Democratic voters supposedly undertaken by Cochran and his allies, particularly done by relatives of former Gov. Haley Barbour.

For example, The Daily Caller reported that Henry Barbour, the head of the Mississippi Conservatives PAC and the nephew of Haley Barbour, paid Democratic operative Mitzi Bickers “to make paid calls to potential Cochran supporters.” Those calls may have spurred many loyal Democrats to cast invalid votes.

In the search for improper votes, GOP officials who are affiliated with Cochran’s campaign are trying to block McDaniel’s search for invalidated votes that are recorded in the poll books, Fritsch said.

“They’re stalling in at least half of the counties across the state,” he said.


Some are “asking for large fees, and throwing up every roadblock you can imagine to stop us from seeing the poll books,” Fristch stated.

That resistance “tells us they don’t want us to see the poll books,” he added.

Roughly 84,000 voters cast ballots in the Democratic primary. To find 7,000 invalid votes, more than 8.5 percent of the 84,000 people who cast votes in the Democratic Primary would also have to have cast votes in the GOP runoff.

However, 19,000 absentee voters cast ballots in the GOP run-off, and many of those votes may be improper, say McDaniel’s allies.

“We haven’t gotten into them yet, but we’re confident that is where a lot of their effort was concentrated, and that’s where we’ll find a lot more ineligible votes,” Fritsch said.

The 1,500 invalid votes already detected were found in Hinds County, which is a heavily populated and predominately Democrat county. That’s because — in a state where partisan loyalties are particularly polarized by race – 69 percent of its large population is African American.

There are many other counties with mostly Democratic and African-American populations, but they’re much smaller than Hinds County.

True, I was sloppy in "States Rights" instead of "state law," but you get the idea.

The election was carried out according to current state laws, TP didn't like the outcome, and want is reversed by a national group. Goes against old school Mississippi ways, but hell it is 2014.

Did you read that Slobbrin?

The TeaWipers say they don't need to prove it was bogus as prescribed by law. Just so they show that there was a doubt about the outcome of the election. That's what the stupid bitch said.

And you posted it, Slobbrin.

I guess that proves you support the OP.

Excellent.

Reading Is FUNdamental.

SO FAR, they've found 1500 voters who, according to the the current state laws, voted illegally in the Republican primary after having already voted in the Democratic primary.

The incumbent won by 7000 recorded votes. If the challenger's review finds 7001 illegal votes, the current state laws REQUIRE the election to be thrown out and done over.

The incumbent's machine appears to know that the illegal votes are there, waiting to be found. Why else would they be stonewalling?

The late Robert Heinlein once wrote that, in Colorado Springs CO, a thoroughly-corrupt political organization was finally thrown out of office when more people showed up in court and testified under oath that they'd voted against the organization candidate than there were votes reported as having been cast. He'd gotten involved in politics because of the problems in The Springs, his home town at the time.

So the TEA party is following the lead of Obama. Interesting.

McDaniel can win the seat outright if he runs as an independent
